About (푸레) PURĚ
About (푸레) PURĚ
PURĚ is based in Sydney and shares the beauty of Korean traditional music through performance and cultural storytelling.
The name PURĚ holds a layered meaning:
In English, it reflects the word “pure,” symbolising clarity, sincerity, and authenticity in sound.
In Korean, “푸레 (pure)” refers to a natural indigo-blue dye used in traditional Korean crafts and clothing — a colour that signifies calm, depth, and timeless beauty.
Founded to share Korean musical heritage within Australia’s multicultural society, PURĚ creates soundscapes rooted in tradition and resonating in the present. Through the sounds of Gayageum and Daegeum, PURĚ reflects on identity, connection, and the cultural threads that link past and present.
**푸레(PURĚ)**는 시드니를 기반으로 활동하며, 한국 전통 음악의 아름다움을 공연과 문화적 스토리텔링을 통해 전하고 있습니다.
‘푸레’라는 이름은 두 가지의 깊은 의미를 담고 있습니다.
영어로는 **‘pure(순수한)’**라는 단어를 떠올리게 하며, 맑고 진실된 소ㅁ리, 그리고 음악에 담긴 정직함을 상징합니다.
한국어로는 **‘푸레’**가 전통 장신구와 의복에 사용되는 천연 쪽빛 염료를 뜻하며, 고요함과 깊이, 그리고 시간의 아름다움을 품은 색입니다.
푸레는 한국의 음악 유산을 호주의 다문화 사회 속에서 나누고자 하는 뜻에서 시작되었습니다.
가야금과 대금의 소리를 통해 전통에 뿌리를 두고 있으면서도 지금 이곳의 삶과 어우러지는 음악을 만들어가며, 정체성과 연결, 그리고 문화를 잇는 소리를 전하고 있습니다.
